The Ibovespa, Brazil's benchmark stock index, closed down 0.47% at 133,122.67 points on Thursday. This decline came in response to the Brazilian central bank's decision to raise the Selic rate by 25 basis points to 10.75% per annum.
In contrast, Wall Street celebrated the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut, with major U.S. indices reaching record highs. The S&P 500 jumped 1.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.3%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 2.5%.
